Northwest Pipeline LLC; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

    Take notice that on February 14, 2014 Northwest Pipeline, Inc. 
(Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84158, filed in the 
above Docket, a prior notice request pursuant to sections 157.205 and 
157.208 of the Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) 
and Northwest's blanket authorization in CP82-433, for authorization to 
expand the function of an existing compressor unit (1,339 horsepower) 
to include operating the unit in tandem with an existing reciprocating 
compressor unit located at Northwest's Oregon City compressor station 
in Clackamas County, Oregon, all as more fully set forth in the 
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection. The filing may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number 
excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access 
the document. For assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at 
[email protected] or toll free at (866) 208-3676, or TTY, 
contact (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to Pam 
Barnes, Project Manager, Business Development, at (801) 584-6857, 
Northwest Pipeline LLC, P.O. Box 58900, Salt Lake City, Utah 84158.
    Specifically, Northwest states that the project will only result in 
an operational change to comply with current Environmental Protection 
Agency emissions standards. There will be no change in current daily 
design capacity, daily maximum capacity, and/or maximum operating 
pressures of existing facilities as a result of this proposal. 
Northwest states that the mobile unit will maintain its primary 
function of replacing out-of-service permanent compression elsewhere on 
the system when needed, and the project requires no additional capital 
cost expenditures.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either: 
complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the 
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a 
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule 
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other 
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of 
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this 
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for 
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for 
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of 
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the 
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days 
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    Any person may, within 60 days after the issuance of the instant 
notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's 
Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to intervene or notice of 
intervention. Any person filing to intervene or the Commission's staff 
may, pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission's Regulations under 
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 157.205) file a protest to the 
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefore, the 
proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day 
after the time allowed for protest. If a protest is filed and not 
withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, 
the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to section 7 of the NGA.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests, and interventions via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site (www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.

    Dated: February 24, 2014.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
